If you cannot arrange a marriage for yourself, and you need one...


It is a cool option that you can try out.

I remember a while back a relative of mine came to my family and said his ancestors directed him to come and get a wife there... grin grin grin

So far we're four girls and two are already married... So it was either me or my other sister who's unmarried.... We both refused and said we wanted nothing to do with it... He said the marriage was arranged by the ancestors.. grin grin grin

He didn't want to give up easily and he kept trying to get my sister's attention for about two years, but she wouldn't give in... He then tried coming my way, but I immediately shut him out.

And u still single...
Now regretting why u rejected him..

No way!
There's something about seeing and picking a spouse for yourself that beats arrangee marriage.

In arrangee marriage, any little thing, you'll hear things like.. " I didn't want you, my family, church ( like Stella Damascus claimed) or pastor forced you on me and petty stuff like that. So, better to choose my thing by myself and be responsible for whatever comes out of it rather than shifting blames.

Approximately 95%of marriages in India are arranged, with the divorce rate at 1%. I come from a big family, with 25 first cousins
and many more second and third cousins.

Out of these 28, 24 are now married and 2 are engaged. All arranged marriages, with no divorce to date.

I am the black sheep of the family, with the first love marriage in the history of my family. I believe that I am the custodian of my own
happiness. I believe that God gave me free will.

So, I cannot marry someone my parents choose for me because even if they trained me from birth, they have limited knowledge of what
gives me fulfillment, especially in the area of choosing a life partner.

What are your thoughts about these

Yes I can.
Re: Can You Marry Someone Your Family Members Arranged For You? by Omoluabi16(m): 12:59pm On Aug 14, 2023
Yes! Why not? It's not like I'll be seeing the person for the first time on the day of the wedding.

cool



Family and friends knows you better and are sometimes good match making a wife for you based on your known personality

The only problem is only you know what you like as Sexual figure and attractiveness

Yes, I've discovered that it's best.

Terms and conditions are known and breaching it can lead to severe consequences.

Infact, I'll like arrangee marriage, dating is totally useless and exploitative.

Nothing bad about it. The world has been much saner in the past than it is today.

As for my case, three different people recommend I a lady for me - saying she's a good person of good family, U should seek for her hand in marriage.
She's the person I'm currently dating.

ThinkSmarter:
Why arrange marriage/due diligence works is that most ladies chosen by the elder member of the family involved are usually the most well behaved.
And it happens most in a conservative society with little western influence.
There's one black American guy on YouTube that gives marriage advice.
He said that DATING was invented around 1950s for the sole purpose of gift card sellers to sell cards. That's all.
That all through history, men and women don't waste time checking and crosschecking each other. Just marry first and adjust yourselves inside the house.

The misuse of God though, as much as you can make your choice yourself, Abraham made a choice for Isaac. It is your choice whoever you marry, though, but don't bring in God in to it. Genesis 24:3,4,51,60
And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell
Jeremiah 29:6-7 Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there and do not decrease.

Arrangee works better. This doesn't mean that you both won't date and hang out for some months before marriage. The fact that only you didn't do the studying of the person but a collective family research makes it better.
